about

Akira Kosemura releases a new album “88 Keys II”.

This album is compiled with the piano solo musical pieces composed and recorded in his private studio during after the first album "88 Keys" in 2021.

The previous work "88 Keys" has become the most globally supported and loved piano album past two years, with the total number of streaming on Spotify exceeding 45 million times.
In this work, Akira's signature sounds remain the same, but the speed is slowed down, and it is a music collection that contains 17 pieces of peaceful piano pieces that make you feel nostalgic.

is also active in collaborations such as movie music such as "Fragments of The Last Will", "A Mother's Touch", "One Day, You Will Reach The Sea", and recent composer's credit in John Legend's song "The Other Ones".
In this work, you can feel the modest joy of music that is minimalized to the limit and is unadorned and innocent.

二年振りとなる、小瀬村晶のニューアルバム『88 Keys Ⅱ』のリリースが決定しました。

本作は、二年前にリリースされたピアノソロ・アルバム『88 Keys』の続編として、前作のリリース以降も途切れることなく、自身のピアノと向き合いながら、生まれてくる音楽を少しずつ掬い集めたピアノソロ・アルバムです。

前作『88 Keys』は、Spotify での総再生回数が僅か二年の間に4500万回を超えるなど、コロナ禍に置いて最もグローバルに支持され愛されるピアノアルバムになりました。
本作でもその身近で親密な世界観は変わらずに、より速度を落とし、穏やかでどこか懐かしさも感じさせるピースフルなピアノ小品が17曲収められた音楽集となっています。

近年は『ラーゲリより愛を込めて』や『桜色の風が咲く』『やがて海へと届く』などの映画音楽や、ジョン・レジェンドの楽曲『The Other Ones』への参加といったコラボレーションも盛んななか、本作では、極限までミニマライズされた、飾らない無垢な音楽へのささやかな喜びを感じさせます。
